[Comment: For dates and availability of
non-regulatory government publications, publications of recognized
organizations and associations, federal rules, and federal statutory provisions
referenced in this rule, see paragraph (JJ) of rule
3745-21-01
of the Administrative Code titled "referenced materials."]

This rule shall apply to any facility
that meets both of the following criteria:

(1)
The facility is
located in Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Lorain, Medina, Portage, or
Summit county.

(2)
The facility has total actual VOC emissions from all
flat wood paneling coating lines that are equal to or greater than 15.0 pounds
of VOC emissions per day, before the application of capture and control
devices.

The owner or operator of a facility
that is subject to this rule shall not apply any flat wood paneling coating
that exceeds the VOC content limitations specified in the following
table:

(2)
As an alternative to the VOC emission limitations
specified in the table of this rule, the owner or operator of a facility may
choose to vent all VOC emissions to a control device with a minimum overall
control efficiency of ninety per cent, by weight.

(3)
Except as
otherwise provided by this rule, compliance with the limitations specified in
paragraph (C)(1) of this rule is based upon a weighted average by volume of all
coating materials employed in the coating line in any one day. The VOC contents
and densities of the coating materials subject to paragraph (C)(1) of this rule
shall be determined in accordance with paragraph (B) of rule
3745-21-10
of the Administrative Code. The VOC emission rate, capture efficiency and
control efficiency for coating lines subject to paragraph (C) of this rule
shall be determined in accordance with paragraph (C) of rule
3745-21-10
of the Administrative Code. The averaging of VOC emissions over two or more
coating lines in order to demonstrate compliance with an applicable emission
limitation (i.e., cross-line averaging) is prohibited except as otherwise
provided in this rule.

The owner or operator of a facility
shall not apply coatings to wood products subject to the provisions of this
rule unless the coating is applied with properly operating equipment, in
accordance with proper operating procedures, and by the use of one of the
following methods:

(1)
Any owner or operator of a flat wood paneling coating line
which is exempt from the emission limitations specified in paragraph (C) of
this rule because the combined VOC emissions from all flat wood paneling
coating lines at the facility are less than 15.0 pounds of VOC per day (before
add-on controls) shall collect and record the information each day and maintain
the following information at the facility for a period of three years:

(b)
The mass of VOC
per volume (including water and exempt solvents) and the volume of each coating
(including water and exempt solvents), as applied, used each
day.

(c)
The total VOC emissions at the facility, as calculated
using the following equation:

where:

T = Total VOC emissions from the
combined flat wood paneling coating lines before the application of capture
systems and control devices, in units of pounds per day.

n = Number of different coatings
applied in the flat wood paneling coating lines at the facility.

i = Subscript denoting an individual
coating.

Ai = Mass of VOC
per volume of coating (i) (including water and exempt solvents), as applied,
used at the facility, in units of pounds VOC per gallon.

Bi = Volume of
coating (i) (including water and exempt solvents), as applied, used at the
facility, in units of gallons per day. The instrument or method by which the
owner or operator accurately measured or calculated the volume of each coating,
as applied, shall also be described in the certification to the
director.

(2)
Any owner or
operator of a flat wood paneling coating line referenced in paragraph (F)(1) of
this rule shall notify the director of any daily record showing that the
combined VOC emissions from all such flat wood paneling coating lines at the
facility are equal to or greater than 15.0 pounds of VOC per day (before add-on
controls). A copy of such record shall be sent to the director within
forty-five days after the exceedance occurs.

(3)
Any owner or
operator of a flat wood paneling coating line who elects to demonstrate the
ongoing status of compliance with the applicable emission limitation by means
of the use of complying coatings (i.e., each coating complies with the
applicable emission limitation as applied) as specified in paragraph (C)(1) of
this rule, shall collect and record the following information each month and
maintain the information at the facility for a period of three years:

(b)
The mass of VOC
per volume of each coating (excluding water and exempt solvents), as
applied.

This information does not have to be
kept on a line-by-line basis. Also, if an owner or operator mixes complying
coatings at a coating line, it is not necessary to record the VOC content of
the resulting mixture.

(4)
Any owner or
operator of a flat wood paneling coating line referenced in paragraph (F)(3) of
this rule shall notify the director of any monthly record showing the use of
noncomplying coatings. A copy of such record shall be sent to the director
within thirty days following the end of the calendar month.

operator of a flat wood paneling coating line who elects to demonstrate the
ongoing status of compliance with the applicable emission limitation as
specified in paragraph (C)(1) of this rule by means of a daily volume-weighted
average VOC content shall collect and record the following information each day
for the coating line and maintain the information at the facility for a period
of three years:

(b)
The mass of VOC per volume (excluding water and exempt
solvents) and the volume of each coating (excluding water and exempt solvents),
as applied.

(c)
The daily volume-weighted average VOC content of all
coatings, as applied, calculated in accordance with the equation specified in
paragraph (B)(9) of rule
3745-21-10
of the Administrative Code for
(Cvoc,2)A .

Any
owner or operator of a flat wood paneling coating line referenced in paragraph

the daily volume-weighted average VOC content exceeds the applicable emission
limitation. A copy of such record shall be sent to the director within
forty-five days after the exceedance occurs.

maintain the information at the facility for a period of three years:

(b)

per unit volume of coating solids, as applied, the volume solids content, as
applied, and the volume, as applied, of each coating.

(c)
The maximum VOC
content (mass of VOC per unit volume of coating solids, as applied) or the
daily volume-weighted average VOC content (mass of VOC per unit volume of
coating solids, as applied) of all the coatings.

controlled VOC emission rate, in mass of VOC per unit volume of coating solids,
as applied. The controlled VOC emission rate shall be calculated using the

calculate and record the average temperature. This is the minimum operating
limit for the desorption concentrate gas stream temperature.

(iii)
Monitor and
record the pressure drop of the dilute stream across the concentrator at least
once every fifteen minutes during each of the three runs of the performance
test.

(iv)
Use the data collected during the compliance test to
